Speaking of badges, they are very common craft gifts in our life. Badges can be seen everywhere from large companies to small individual tourist attractions.
As far as the company group is concerned, it is very popular to use badges as the standard system of the team in the establishment of the enterprise group, which is obviously a fashion.
In June, graduation season, ten years of hard study, finally wait for this day, accompany you through the students naturally become the object of remembrance. At this point, it seemed that something was needed to witness the ten years of friendship between students, and the badge was the best choice. Whether exquisite appearance, or easy to carry characteristics are deeply loved by students.
The badges we see in the market may look the same on the surface, but in fact there are big differences, such as workmanship, material and so on. Today we borrow this graduation season to talk about the badge production process, so that you love crafts thoroughly understand your badge has what is different;
Badges are made by stamping, biting, die-casting, and process, and can be gold-plated, silver, nickel, or electroplated. Its lines are simple and smooth, the pattern is good, feel good and so on.
So what exactly is the badge made of?
At present, the most popular die-casting on the market is zinc alloy, because zinc alloy material has the following advantages:
1, casting performance is good, can die casting shape complex, thin wall of rice dense parts, casting surface smooth;
2, the surface can be electroplating, spray painting, spraying and other processes;
3, in the die casting does not absorb iron, non-stick mold;
4, has good room temperature mechanical and wear resistance;
5. Low melting point, melting at 385 degrees, easy to die casting molding.
There are natural advantages and disadvantages, its disadvantage is that the corrosion resistance is poor, its service life is much worse than the copper badge.
What kind of material is used to choose a high-end badge?
The preferred metal for high-grade badges is basically derived from: brass, red copper, red copper, etc. Copper this material is relatively soft, the appearance of the badge produced can be said to be very beautiful, and the quality is very good, but the price is relatively high, for the Tuhao class cheap can choose such materials of the badge.
Of course, there are tinplate badges, its price is very cheap, but the hardness is good. The only fatal disadvantage is easy to rust, especially to go to sea customers, please choose carefully.
After saying the material, the next is a brief introduction to the craft of badge making.
Our common paint process, imitation enamel, printing and other processes. Here, we briefly introduce, this kind of process is mainly applicable badge material.
Baking process:
Features: Bright colors, clear lines.
Applicable material: copper or tinplate as raw material
Tips: Paint badge surface can be coated with a layer of transparent protective resin (Polly), this process commonly known as "glue", note that because of the light refraction, the badge surface will be bright after the drop of glue. But added resin after the paint badge lost the concave and convex sense.
Imitation enamel process:
Features: enamel color surface smooth, especially delicate, give a person a very upscale luxury feeling, is the first choice of badge making process.
Tip: The lines on the surface of the badge can be gold plated, silver plated and other metallic colors, filled in between the metal lines of various imitation enamel paint.
Printing process:
Printed badges are divided into screen printing and plate printing, which are also commonly referred to as drip badges. Because the final process of the badge is to add a layer of transparent protective resin (Polly) on the surface of the badge, the materials used for printing the badge are mainly stainless steel and bronze. The surface of the copper or stainless steel for printing the badge is not electroplated, which is generally made of natural color or wire drawing. The main differences between screen printing badges and plate printing badges are: screen printing badges mainly for simple graphics, less color; And plate printing mainly for complex patterns, more color, especially gradual change, accordingly, plate printing badges more exquisite.
The above is about the common process and material types of badge production, more about the badge consultation, the late small edition of sunrise will regularly sort out more craft gift information.
